    Capital of one of the most powerful countries on Terra (Original name I know :P), Potenza. Home to the prestigious school for those who want to join the special forces. This school trains teenagers in the area of their choice to be weapons for war, it is what keeps the country as powerful as it is. This is only the special force division of the army as well, there is the regular army who was put through extensive general training. Potenza's high walls keep the citizens in and intruders out, as well as keeping many blissfully unaware of what was happening out side of the walls of their cities. The wars, the deaths, and the brutal take overs of other innocent towns just for the sake of power. The phrase ignorance is bliss is full of more bliss then you would think in the town; and it wasn't because they couldn't know but that they didn't want to know. Those young people who did want to know had their sights set on the academy, some wanting to get into the special forces for access to knowledge, others for adventures. With walls around the entire city there isn't much adventure. The closest kids got would be explore what was down stream in some of the parks or hanging out in an old abandoned building somewhere. However those who enrolled in the academy not only got to learn how to fight and use weapons, but where also extremely acrobatic and brave, to be part of this you must be brave.

    News of more intense wars had reached the city, many of the fresh recruits had been reported dead, no bodies had been found. More and more people where being sent out on special missions, oddly enough many female, and most never came back. The details of the mission where kept secret from everyone else. From what most could guess they where most likely scoping missions, but the reason they needed special force for those was not clear. With all the deaths lately many in the academy question finishing, instead returning to a normal life, while others are as excited as ever. For those who wanted to leave dropping out seemed to be becoming harder and harder to get away with. Things in both the special forces and the academy where changing but why was unsure. The towns people are aware of the deaths and changes to how things are working. Some are getting worried, others pass it off as nothing. Talk of Conspiracies and secrets in the government and SF have began to arise but no evidence to support such notions.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Outline and Rules
    1. This takes place in modern times, and although on a different planet has the same level if technology as we do now.
    2. There is no powers of any sort, everything relies on peoples skill sets.
    3. Skill sets will be kept to one set of skills that relate, no jack of every trade that might get overpowered
    4.Not everyone has to be part of the academy, they can be commoners, part of the regular army, or part of the special forces.
    5. The plot will be effected by you. I have a general idea but everything will be change and adjust based on character reactions
    6. There is really no antagonist players. As the rp goes on you will find out more about things and characters perhaps would have connections to other not so good things but there is no outright bad guys, no one constantly hunting for a kill. Everyone lives in the same town and are relatively friendly.
    7. It is a big city so not everyone will necessarily know everyone.
    8. School is for those ages 15-19
    9.Regular KHV rules apply
    10. No godmodding
    11. There is no time limit on when you have to post but it is preferred you post every few days around once or twice a week minimum would be preferred. If we are waiting too long you get one warning and one day from that warning to post or other players are allowed to move on without you.
    12. There is no character limit but keep it reasonable, make sure you can manage anyone you do have.
    13. Have fun
    I hope even if I miss rules they are self explanatory, if you are unsure please ask me.

    Name: Nasir
    Occupation: Professional *******/Drug dealer
    Age: 26
    Appearance: Here
    Short Bio: Growing up as a grumpy child, Nasir never really had any friends. He maintained this status throughout his life, being such a generic ****** to so many people that he was assumed to be the spawn of the devil by a satanic cult. He was marked with a pentagram symbol on his chest before various chants began being spoken. He was saved by a random passerby who happened to be in the drug dealing business, and soon after Nasir adopted the trade himself. He began selling drugs to various people and organizations in the big city, always being careful to avoid the attention of the authorities, and slowly built up a reputation in the underground scene.

    Nasir had changed a lot once he got into that occupation, and not in a good way. He had become all the more cold and distrusting, and in general more of a not very nice person, but one thing had remained the same from when he was a child to the current point in time; the only thing Nasir genuinely cares about aside from himself is where his next payment is coming from.

    Academy and special forces:
    Name: Samuel Agnès
    Academy or SF: Academy
    Age: 16
    Focus skill set: Swordsmanship, specifically with Katanas.
    Appearance: Here
    Short Bio:
    Samuel was born into a well-off family. Both his parents had full time jobs and earned enough money that they could afford many luxuries and things other people had never experienced. From when he was born until he was the age of five, Samuel was well-taken care of and had never experienced loss of any kind.

    This changed on the day of his fifth birthday. On that day, in the middle of the celebration he was having dinner with his parents, his mother received a call. The results of a scan she had had the month before had finally come back; his mother had a brain tumour that was in a location too dangerous to remove from, and had breast cancer on top of that.

    It was then that life turned around for Samuel. He no longer had wealth, he no longer had every toy a kid could dream of, all the money his father made was spent on basic needs for the family and Samuel's mother's medication.

    His misfortune did not end there, however. The child started school, and all through the first stage of schooling everything was normal, or at least as normal as they could be. However, he became bullied day in and day out by most people at school. Being emotionally unstable as he was, he was an easy target; and people loved reminding him of this.

    The boy found comfort in the form of murder. He found that despite not having a natural knack for it, he was a very efficient killer to an extent. Silently he would approach people, gain their trust, and then eliminate them when they least expected it. This continued for a couple of years, until the bloodlust began to fade. For all his suffering, for all the relief it found to know that someone was in more pain than he, he came to realize it didn't give him the right to play god. Moving from a small establishment outside the big city to inside the main city, he left behind his past and enrolled in the academy, hoping for a new life and the opportunity to develop his skills, join the military, and earn enough money to heal his mother.

    Name: Arabella Oblea
    Academy or SF: Academy
    Age: 17
    Focus skill set: Marksmanship (long-range)
    Appearance: Here
    Short Bio: To any that knew Arabella, the decision to join the academy was a surprising one. Arabella was never a violent person in any sense, in fact she avoided it if she could, so joining a school to train people to become weapons of war hardly seemed fitting for her.

    Arabella joined the academy in order to get into the military so she might protect her brother. Her brother, only being six years of age, was a little troublemaker. If he saw something that looked like fun or interesting, he took it, and this often got him into many messes that his older sister often had to get him out of. Family comes first for Arabella, above all else, and she strives to become as good a marksman as she can.

    Academy and special forces:
    Name: Maxwell Lighttouch
    Academy or SF: Special Forces
    Age: 26
    Focus skill set: Assassination
    Appearance: Here
    Short Bio:
    After hearing tales of people who are paid money to eliminate certain targets, Maxwell Lighttouch eagerly taught himself to wield a blade. He paid close attention to the details involving the equipment the assassins used, and replicated them to the best of his ability. One day, he caught his mother being beaten up by his father simply for forgetting to do the laundry. Utilising the small hidden blade he had crafted himself, he stabbed his father in the neck, causing a slow and painful death.

    Shocked at what he had done, his mother cast Max out onto the streets and called the police, fearing for her life. Maxwell was thrown in prison shortly, sentenced to ten years for manslaughter, despite his claims he was only trying to save his mother.

    His sentence was short-lived, however, as the government saw a need of him. He was released merely a year after he went into the prison, being enlisted in the special forces and beginning his training to further his skills and take out any targets that might threaten the special forces.

    Other: That's all I'll be using.

    Academy and special forces:
    Name: Sasha Faith
    Academy or SF: Acadamy
    Age: 18
    Focus skill set: Terrifying accuracy. If she can see you, even as a speck, you're in range
    Appearance: :3
    Short Bio: Weak and Pathetic. Those were the two words people used to describe Sasha years ago. She spent most of her life in her home bedridden with a horrible disease, preventing her from doing any large activities. The very few times she went out, she was greeted by the public as a waste of space and useless. While everyone was out fighting, she stayed and did what she could, usually by doing small tasks. Her older sister was more well known. Beautiful, brave, and strong, many held her more favorable than Sasha. But even so, Sasha still loved and praised her sister even if she was compared poorly to her better half.

    In one battle, Sasha's sister was killed in action due to a poor choice in the higher ups. Now stricken with grief, Sasha spend almost a year in major depression, with the combination of her illness and poor choices she made during this time, almost killing her. At the age of 16, she got over her depression and her condition improved. She then enrolled in the academy. In the span of two years, people started to respect Sasha. She became one of the best shots in the Academy. With the few fights she had with people still looking down on her, her victims came out beaten to hospitalization. She wouldn't stop until she could reach that point where she believes, her sister is satisfied

    My Character time.
    Name: Robyn
    Academy or SF: SF
    Age: 21
    Focus skill set: Hacker
    Appearance:
    [​IMG]
    Short Bio: Robyn always spent a lot of time on her computer, in fact she wasn't good with anything else besides computers. All through her life her parents kept bothering her about what she was going to do for a job and about what sort of schooling she was going to go into. This nagging only got on her nerves until finally she decided to show her parents she could do something with her life. Instead of looking into regular schooling, she had her sights set high on the academy training for the Special forces. They trained people in their fields of choice to be weapons, and Robyn's was computers. The next day she walked into the head administrators office and argued with him until he accepted her skills on the computer would be useful. Although allowing her in, the school still had concerns about her lack of fighting abilities, in war it was not always possible to hide behind a computer. Robyn was a pain all through school, constantly fighting with the teachers about facts they told her, picking fights with other students, not fist fights however. She would often hack onto other students computers just for fun, once she even hacked the entire school mainframe and nearly got expelled.

    When Robyn finally graduated the academy immediately gave her a job as an assistant. There was a few reasons behind this. Since she couldn't fight they felt it best to give her a reason to stick with someone who could. On top of that they needed someone to keep the girl in line. Although she proved that she could be a valuable asset she also proved that she could be a pain in the butt. And the final reason was that hacking jobs where few at that point and they promised the girl a job, so that was something she could manage.

    Name: Quinn Basileus
    Academy or SF: Special Forces
    Age: 28
    Focus skill set: Hand-to-hand combat specialist
    Appearance: Here
    Short Bio: Quinn is the Lieutenant General of the special forces, although not by choice. He had always excelled in his craft, but he never wanted the attention that came with it. Against his wishes, he was promoted again and again until he was approaching as high of a rank as you can get. As a result of his dislike for the rank, he hates it when people refer to him formally, and wishes that people would speak to him as though they would a common soldier. Despite this, he accepts the responsibility of the rank and does his best to fulfill his duties.

    Academy or SF: Academy
    Focus skill set: A mix of martial arts and handguns in order to be an effective assault force.
    Short Bio That Takes Forever to Write for Some Reason:
    For as long as she could remember, Lucia had a certain aspiration for becoming a member of the Special Forces. Seeing as them as the protectors of the prosperity of their nation, Lucia had quickly become infatuated with the idea of enrolling in the academy. To this end, despite her clumsy nature, she began her training before even enrolling and joined the academy at the earliest possible age. Being the cheery klutz at the school, Lucia preformed her absolute best these past two years, doing all she could to become the best darn member of the special forces that would ever exist.
